Sunday's Best
This piece was done in vine charcoal. Brad referred a photo from a book to produce this quick sketch.
Hands
This piece was done in charcoal pencil, after a few mockup sketches. Referencing a magazine ad, Brad feels that he was able to capture a moment of innocent curiosity, creating a soft feel to the piece that reflects the fragility of the butterfly that she is holding. This was a gift for a friend who helped him out a while ago. The total project took Brad about fifteen hours to complete.
Lady in the Water
This illustration was done in Adobe Illustrator CS2 using the gradient mesh tool. Brad thinks he got the mesh to flow nicely around the curvatures of the face, and the tonal changes in the skin look nice. He referenced a picture off of the internet as his source. This is one of his favorite gradient mesh pieces.
Rose
This piece was also done in a combination of charcoal pencil and vine charcoal. Brad referenced a photo of of a book, as his source for her structure and proportions, but adding Brad's own unique style and detail to the overall picture. This total project took him about twelve hours to complete.
Dots
This pointillism project Brad Everett did in his independent study class when he was in college. It is composed of countless pen dots. Brad is very pleased with the gradation he was able to achieve using this technique. The total project took him around twelve hours to complete. Brad referenced a magazine as his source.
Cobra
This illustration project was done in Adobe Illustrator CS2, again, using the gradient mesh tool. It was Brad's first attempt at using this tool and he thinks it turned out rather well. Brad used the mesh around the body and the chrome of the car to give it that really shinny reflective look. he did this for his Father who owned this car for a little while before selling it.
Boy Sketch
This piece was also done in vine charcoal. Brad referenced a photo of of a book, as his source for her structure and proportions, but adding Brad's own unique style and detail to the overall picture.
Girl Sketch
This piece was also done in vine charcoal. Brad referenced a photo of of a book, as his source for her structure and proportions, but adding Brad's own unique style and detail to the overall picture.
